Tho Judpe Moved.

A story illustrative of this state few
years hack is told in connection with the
removal Of Judge w. o. Harris to this
city. When the judge left Virginia to
find location for the practice Of his pro-
fession he located in Logan county. A
few days after his arrival he was sitting
in his Office musing over prospective fee,
when typical Kentuckian hung on the
door knob and looked in.
eyer claims to be er lawyer, believe"
''That's my business" responded the
judge.
"Well," continued the fellow, 'T'ye got
a gal down here piece and she's Just
killed her old dad and she's sorter on
easy"
The next day the Judge moved to Louis
yille.-Louisville Post.

Suppression OF IncendIarv Speech MAY
BE Over Jealous.


Suppression OF Incendlarv Speech MAY
BE Over Jealous.
There is some danger that the en-
livening of public attention to the
dangers of Anarchism, through the
execution of the Anarchists at Chicago,
is going to lead, for time at least, to
an imprndent zeal in the suppression
of incendiary speech.
Incendiary speech has no rights,
perhaps, that officers of the law are
strictly bound to respect; but it is the
part of wisdom, nevertheless, not to
put too strenuous q curb on it. So
long as it does not end in acts, it can
do no great harm, and all experience
goes to prove that it is much less
likely to end in acts when it is not
too much feared and restrained. The
very utterance of it tends oftentimes
to abate the discomfort and fury
whence it springs.
When it comes to acts, severe re-
straint and prompt punisnment-are
the highest prudence; for acts are
directly and Immediately and in
themselves injurious. But with
speech, a large tolerance is, us a rule,
the only safe course. Anarchist
journalism and oratory will only gain
force by too much damming up

Pungent Words OF the President Of the
National Farmers Congress.

The president, Col. Robert Beverly,
in the course OF his opening address,
alluded to monopolies in the following
very unequivocal manner:
ave may well view with dismay the
progress ofmonoply in every direction.
The whole telegraph and telephone
systems of the country are each under
complete domination OF single indivi-
duals. No class OF citizens is so deeply
and vitality interested in putting pro-
per, safe, and effectual restraints up
on the encroachments Of corporate
powers as the rural population. We
are impudently told that it is not
true, that no law OF the United States
ever created a monopoly, yet one per-
son owns and controls the telegraphs.
and less than ten persons dominate
the railway system Of the country,
and can. and will, and do wreck any
railway properties which venture 10
make the least show Of competition
with their systems. II We do not

dent and judicious use Of our suffrages

The Holidays

And the colder winter weather are now rap
idly approaching. The joyful season is
eagerly anticipated by young folks in thous-

one or more older ones to whom the waves

back or limbs. 1t is not claimed
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is q positive specific

THE OPIUM HABIT.

The Most Ahject Of Slaveries.-.Is There

The New York papers lately pub.
lished a very pathetic story about a
very popular emotional actress. II
was TO the effect that she had become
a confirmed victim of the opium ha-
bit, involving an almost total loss oi
physical and mental powers, and
actual destitution.
The story was at once denied by
her friends, who say she has suffered
simply from nervous prostration, is
in no need of pecuniary aid, and is on
the way to speedy recovery.
Opium victims are usually hope
less, helpless slaves, mind weakened,
lacking energy for any effort toward
recovery, rapidly drifting into inn
becility and untimely graves.
A peculiar feature is that victims
crafty conceal it from their nearest
friends. A yonng lady at school
near Philadelphia was recently found
to be secretly addicted to it, keeping
her medicine" in school room ink

In the Chicago Farm Field and
Stockman, September "a, 1887, is
this letter signed s. T. o., from Bar
stow, KY: ~ missed the paper
that had my letter in, 80 I did not
know that you made the request to
know what it was used to break up
the morphine habit, until I got let
ter from gentleman asking infor-
nation. I should have answered
sooner. It was Warmers safe cure.
I should have given it when I wrote
the letter, but it looked too much
like an advertisement"
This voluntary statement goes to
confirm the claim made by the pro-
prietors of Warmers safe cure, that
it is the only remedy in the world
which has any decided power over
diseases of the kidney, and liver, and
that this terrible habit cannot be
cured until these organs have first
been restored to full health, because
they are the ones chiefly affected by
this drug.
Editor VIM, A. Bode, of Alton, ILL.,,
was completely cured of the opium
habit, acquired by long use in a
painful malady, with Warmers safe
cure. 1t cannot be cured at all if
the kidneysand liver are diseased.
It is not claimed that there is any
thing in Warmers safe cure alone
which will do away with the habit,
except that it puts the kidneys and
liver in a healthy condition, giving
the whole system that strength and
tone without which any attempt to
throw off the habit, would be vain.
It is because physicians have dis
covered that no other remedy is so
beneficial in restoring health to the
liver, kidneys and general system as
The one stated that it has come into
general use in connection with the
special remedies for the cure Of the
dreadful opium habit.
One of the worst features Of the
opium habit is the deadening Of men
sal and moral sensibilities in pro-
portion as it weakens the physical
system and the will power.

NIW HAVEN, CONN. SATURDAY MORNING. JULY 80,

Bulletin now shows how great a sum of
 money has recently been invested by eastern
 capitalists in western enterprises that have
 originated in that city. The Atchison Topeka
 and Santa Fe Railroad company has called for nearly $40, 100000 to be expended in ex-
 tending it's system and about one-half of this
 sum has been paid in. The Chicago, Bur-
 lington and Quincy has obtained about ST.
 500, 900, half of which has been furnished in this country. To the Chicago, Burlington
 and Northern $12, 200, 900 has been paid in the last year and half. The Wisconsin
 Central and the Merriam" group of roads
 have received large sums and SC, ,OO0, 900 has
 been put into the Memphis and Birmingham
 road. These enterprises, which are especially
 favored in Boston, have called for $75, 900, 900 all of which has been subscribed and $45,-
 100000 of it has been actually invested.
 Boston capitalists have also supported certain
 California land companies by payments
 amounting to $2, 800, 900.
 War seems to grow less and less destruc.
 tive of human life in spite of the great in-
 crease of terrible weapons The Spectateur
 Militaire, quoting from report made by the international committee Of the Red Cross society, states that out of B, ,101 officers and 1 ,113, ,254 rank and file of the German army who entered France in 1870-71 as many as 9s, 233 were killed or wounded. Of these $50 were disabled by bayonet thrusts, 1, 146 by the lance and sabre, and 96, 437 by fire arms. Of this latter category 91 per cent. fell by gunshot wounds, and only per cent. in consequence ot artillery fire. The carnage was least at the following battles: Sedan, where 308 per cent. of combatant strength fell; Le Mans, 2.4 per cent; Amiens, 2.7 per cent The most sanguinary engagement of | the war was at Mars Ia Tour, where 16.s per ! cent. suecumbed. Comparing these losses l with those incurred in times when troops | came to closer quarters, we find that the Prussians had 40 per cent hors de combat at Kolin C757O, and the Austrians lost 30 per
 cent. at Aspern QS09). At Leipsic the corps of De York was in the course of three hours | weakened by one-quarter it's strength; that of Kleist by 80 per cent. in only two.

 In one of the ruburban towns there is
 young Iady-quite a young lady she

 innocently masculine tastes have won for her
 the soubriquet of Tommy. Not long ago
 she gave little party to the children of the
 neiohborhood, and in preparing for the
 event her mother, in order to get at an
 idea of the sort of young people her daughter
 vonld like to have attend told her to prepare
 a list of those she wished to invite. Tommy
 went to work with zest and in short time
 finished pretty long list. seThere, mamma" said she, with an air of conelusiveness, "there's every single one that want to come"
 Her mother took the document and read it with an astonishment which increased as her eve approached the end of the list. Tommy had only one girls name on the whole list! "Why, Tommy" her mother exclaimed, l "do you want none but boys to come to your narty2 What are you thinking ofl' Well, mamma" said Tommy, "you know girls aren't any fun!"
